Now im stuck when im trying to figure out which pendant will work well with this ballast over the tank. Any ideas? I was looking into the one below because it will have moonlights.. any thought??

I run a Reef Optics 3 pendant on an Icecp ballast over my 40b display. I keep mostly sps. This light is perfect for a 40b good light spread and plenty of plight for growing sps. I really like the Icecap ballast, give a nice blue to most bulbs and overdrives the bulb a little. That is a good pendant you are looking at, great reflector.
